Re Sunday News's Article on Commissioners' Violation of Sunshine Law

From the [Feb. 17 Sunday News] article:

"Harper, who in the past has lodged lawsuits when he feels shut out of public meetings or is denied public records, has been a frequent presence at commissioners' meetings. He's also been a vocal critic of the proposed convention center and hotel on Penn Square."

Exactly what does being a critic of the "PROPOSED" hotel and convention center have to do with this article?
